Hangawi

A little touch of Korea has arrived on the North Shore with Ilseon Baek's Hangawi. Try the haemooljungal (spicy cow's tripe with vegetable casserole) for bulking up or the samkeitang (chicken ginseng soup) to feel in ruddy good health just sitting there. But the essential ingredient of Korean cooking is kim chi - a fiery composition of fermented Chinese cabbage with cayenne pepper, chili and buckets of garlic and oh, some horseradish, cucumber and anything else the chef feels like adding on that particular day. Whatever form you find it, try it. Expect to pay around $20 (£8) and bring your own booze.
